"How can he run so fast!" Xia Jianren gaped, looking in the direction Gu Mian had disappeared.
In this cold, horrifying instance, everyone trod carefully, fear in each step. Only Gu Mian would spontaneously decide to abandon the group with words like, "I have to go ahead for a bit; you guys take your time," only to reappear unscathed when the others, who had expended all their mental energy, encountered him again.
"Is he really human?" Xia Jianren couldn't help but voice the thoughts he had harbored for a long time.
Cang Yue also had an expression as if she'd seen a ghost. "Honestly, he doesn't seem to be."
Wang Chuan looked upwards. "So, do we continue up?"
Cang Yue nodded. "Since Gu Mian went up, it's like he cleared some danger for us. Following him should be safe."
Xia Jianren, however, had other worries. "But what if the danger wasn't triggered by him and targets us instead?"
This frightening idea was so strong, he almost felt it was bound to happen.
